Hi Maria,

I think with proper pre-op planning and discussion you could have better known what to expect so that you would not have needed to remove and replace the 1st implant so soon and then remove the 2nd one despite all the swelling that you must have had.

What’s done is done now.

I am not sure how long ago the last (2nd) surgery was but there will be swelling and scar tissue. You need to make sure there is no fluid pocket or infection although from your description, it does not sound like there is. But you do need to see some local surgeons as I cannot tell you what to do since I have not seen you and examined you.

Conservative injection of a few drops of steroids is not bad if there is scar tissue. It can help.

Dr. William Silver is a very well known and honest Facial Plastic Surgeon in Atlanta. You may want to see him and see what he would suggest.

The Naderi Center is committed to the ideals of “expertise, ethics and exquisite patient care.” Dr. Shervin Naderi sees himself as a physician before anything else. He does not condone the “sales driven” model of practicing plastic surgery on his patients. He is there to educate his patients first and foremost about all of their possible surgical options, regardless if those options are found in the hands of other doctors.
